Why we chose it: Since protein helps prevent spikes and crashes in blood sugar. It’s a VIP at snack-time—it is a much higher source of protein than regular style yogurt. It’s also a different texture than yogurt, so it gives variety in its uses.

Grams of protein: 21 grams of protein per 6 ounces (vs. 10 grams for a cup of regular, non-Greek yogurt).

Tip: Top 1% cottage cheese with a sliced banana and sliced almonds for a work-friendly snack that doesn’t come from a vending machine.
